their good attendance upon the public
worship, irrespective of denomina-
ton, and by their Difference anu kind
treatment toward the members and
visitors of the Conference. May
heavens richest blessings ever rest
upon the good people of Hedgesville.

scenery from the top of this mountain
is perfectly grand. We think it equals,
ifnot surpass, that of the much. talked

as fair young ladies as ever darkened
a church door; and if you doubt it,
we simply refer you to Lemuel Shear

who was delegate to the Convention.

vile, this was our first visit to Will
Transport. We found it a flourishing
little town of about 700 inhabitants.
1t, too, can boast of many young
ladies; but 10! the young men are
there too, and that to stay. Our visit
was very pleasant one. We found
the people exceedingly pleasant and
clever; however, friend Lands says
he was the recipient of much Harsh
treatment which we think he enjoyed,
